The self-proclaimed “Glam Punk Goth ’n’ Roll” outlaws Gypsy Pistoleros have officially unleashed their most theatrical and feral statement to date. Their new album, Dark Faerie Tales: A Fairytale for the Damned, arrived last month via The New Church Records and Plastichead. Produced by long-time conspirator Dave Draper, the record is a high-voltage collision of glam excess, punk danger, and gothic theatre.To celebrate the release, the band recently shared a savage video for their third single, “King of Almost Everything”. The track serves as a cinematic takedown of false idols and hollow power, further cementing the band’s reputation for unapologetically…
Americana favourite delivers the final chapter of his adventurous Sagebrush Trilogy that concludes with the mythological and wide-ranging story of the ‘Outlaw’ Billy MacLane.Readers of Americana UK are likely to be very familiar with the backstory of Texan singer-songwriter Charley Crockett, the country’ outsider’ as he likes to be called, so that he is differentiated from the commercial country music that typically emanates from the recording studios in Nashville. He is, nevertheless, a true country roots artist in the manner of the likes of Marty Robbins, Willie Nelson, or Waylon Jennings, so it is quite appropriate that his latest album…
An evocative and wistful album of reflections on lost love and the life ahead.A good singer-songwriter record generally requires the artist to match their voice with a winning combination of perceptive, memorable lyrics, strong melodies, and skilled instrumentation and arrangements. Jordan Renzi and her band hit all those buttons on her new album, On Your Side. It weighs in at 30 minutes, and there is no fat or filler here. The wistfully romantic lyrics are mercifully free of cliché (not an easy thing to do), and the songs sound like the poetic expressions of lived experience and hard-gained wisdom.Jordan Renzi,…
This is a compelling acoustic version of Heart’s Too Heavy, from the album High On Tulsa Heat, my favourite of all John Moreland’s albums. The track is a howl of anguish from Moreland, who must have been going through a dark time when it was written, and who seems to have demons from his past:“And I’m pulling up devils from the long dark past / And the pain starts piling up too fast / I can pin down the minute that I lost my buzz / Thought I was somebody nobody could love”It is the way of the world that…
When not getting rizzy with it or taking aim at toxic situationships, Broadside ponder mushroom clouds and impending doom, and somehow manage to fit these in among their high-energy sound without them seeming out of place. There’s an aspect of being in it together, or a desire to run away from all the ugliness with a significant other or chosen tribe, which glues all of the chaos and wonder of this record together. Blissed Out, again delivering that same sonic euphoria, sees Oliver sharing what it means to purposefully choose peace over self-sabotage, and on closer Is This It?, he…

The tracklist for Brown Horse’s third album in just over two years reads like the band’s songwriters have clipped their song titles from headlines in the kind of morbid newsletter that keeps even hardened doomscrollers awake long after the lights have gone out. As clues to the album’s prevailing moods, they’re often starkly explicit. Opening an album, for instance, with a song called “Sadness Reigns” hardly promises that what follows will be especially lighthearted, inclined to frivolity or even modestly reassuring, especially when there are songs coming up with titles like “Oblivion”, “Wreck”, “Heavy” and “Watching Something Burn Up”. Brown…
Israel carried out an extensive wave of airstrikes across Lebanon on Wednesday, unleashing one of its most intense bombardments to date just hours after a ceasefire agreement was reached between Israel, the United States, and Iran—an agreement that notably did not extend to Lebanon. The strikes targeted multiple areas, including Beirut, southern Lebanon, and the eastern Bekaa Valley, sending thick plumes of smoke into the sky and triggering widespread panic. Scenes from the capital showed chaotic evacuations as explosions struck residential neighborhoods during busy daytime hours. On the ground, the impact was devastating. Emergency responders struggled to reach victims as…
Photo by Matt LudinAlmost there!There was never much doubt that John Prine would be represented in this list, and, although a number of his songs appeared in the original writers’ lists, the iconic and most covered song of his has duly found its place, at No. 2. Two writers voted it No 1.In the late 60s, when Prine was in his early 20s, he was delivering to a Baptist old people’s home and was sufficiently moved to write a song about old people and disadvantaged people on his epic song Hello In There. It appeared on his debut album 3…
HEALTH have released a new single, A.L.O.N.E. Giving off some very cool Twin Peaks vibes, particularly in the intro, it’s no surprise to hear from vocalist/guitarist Jake Duzsik that, “We wrote this song immediately after David Lynch died, which at the time felt significant. “Then it ended up coming out much later and it seems to have lost almost any meaningful connection to that event, even for me. There is some sort of life lesson in there but I’m not sure what it is.” The track is taken from the trio’s forthcoming EP ADDENDUM, which is due out on April…
